Ken Smith sez: This narrated film about persistence of vision (how movies work) has a good narrator and lots of fun visuals. High points: A weird scene inside a movie theater (as chorus girls toss flowers down a hill) and a great car crash at the end (Jam Handy had to work a Chevy into this film somehow).
